Fungicidal combinations of active substances

ABSTRACT

The novel active compound combinations of a fluoro-benzothiazole derivative of the formula  
                 
 
     and the active compound groups (1) to (51) listed in the description have very good fungicidal properties.

[0001] The present invention relates to novel active compoundcombinations which consist of a known fluoro-benzothiazole derivativeand further known fungicidally active compounds, and which are highlysuitable for controlling phytopathogenic fungi.

[0002] It is already known that isopropyl1-({[1-(6-fluoro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)ethyl]-amino}carbonyl)-2-methylpropylcarbamatehas fungicidal properties (cf.

[0003] EP-A1-775 696). The activity of this compound is good; however,at low application rates it is in some cases not satisfactory.

[0004] Furthermore, it is already known that a large number of triazolederivatives, aniline derivatives, dicarboximides and other heterocyclescan be employed for controlling fungi (cf. EP-A 0 040 345, DE-A 22 01063, DE-A 23 24 010, Pesticide Manual, 9th Edition (1991), pages 249 and827, EP-A 0 382 375 and EP-A 0 515 901). Likewise, the activity of thesecompounds is not always satisfactory at low application rates.

[0005] Finally, it is also known that1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazo-lidineimine can beused for controlling animal pests such as insects (cf. Pesticide Manual,9th Edition (1991), page 491). However, fungicidal properties havehitherto not been described for this compound.

[0006] Furthermore, it is already known that1-(3,5-dimethyl-isoxazol-4-sulphonyl)-2-chloro-6,6-difluoro-[1,3]-dioxolo-[4,5f]-benzimidazolehas fungicidal properties (cf. WO 97-06171).

[0007] Furthermore, it is already known that substitutedazodioxacycloalkenes have fungicidal properties (cf. EP-B-712 396).

[0008] Finally, it is also known that substituted halogenopyrimidineshave fungicidal properties (cf. DE-A1-196 46 407, EP-B-712 396).

[0120] and/or

[0121] (51) the compound of the formula

[0122] have very good fungicidal properties.

[0123] Surprisingly, the fungicidal activity of the active compoundcombinations according to the invention is considerably higher than thesum of the activities of the individual active compounds. Thus, anunforeseeable, true synergistic effect is present, and not just anaddition of activities.

[0124] From the structural formula of the active compound of the formula(I), it can be seen that the compound has two asymmetrically substitutedcarbon atoms. Accordingly, the product can be present as a mixture ofdifferent isomers or else in the form of a single isomer.

[0125] Preferred compounds of the formula (I) are compounds in which theamino acid moiety is formed from i-propyloxycarbonyl-L-valine and thefluoro-benzothiazoleethylamine moiety is racemic, but has, inparticular, the (R) configuration.

[0126] The formula (II) includes the compounds

[0127]1-(4-chloro-phenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-butan-2-one ofthe formula

[0128]1-(4-chloro-phenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-butan-2-ol ofthe formula

[0129] and

[0130]1-(4-phenyl-phenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-butan-2-ol ofthe formula

[0131] The formula (IV) includes the aniline derivatives of the formulae

[0132] and

[0133] It is evident from the structural formula for the active compoundof the formula (V) that the compound has three asymmetricallysubstituted carbon atoms. The product may therefore be present as amixture of different isomers, or else in the form of a single component.Particular preference is given to the compounds

[0134]N—(R)-[1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethyl]-(1S)-2,2-dichloro-1-ethyl-3t-methyl-1R-cyclopro-panecarboxamideof the formula

[0135] and

[0136]N—(R)-[1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethyl]-(1R)-2,2-dichloro-1-ethyl-3t-methyl-1R-cyclopro-panecarboxamideof the formula

[0137] The formula (VII) includes the compounds (VIIa) Me = Zn (zineb),(VIIb) Me = Mn (maneb) and (VIIc) mixture of (VIIa) and(VIIb)(mancozeb).

[0138] The formula (XVI) includes the compounds (XVIa) R² = CH₃(pyrimethanil) and (XVIb)

(cyprodinyl) (XVIc) R² = —C≡C—CH₃ (mepanipyrim)

[0139] The compound of the formula (XVII) can be present as methylN-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(methoxyacetyl)-DL-alaninate (metalaxyl, XVIIa)or as methyl N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(methoxyacetyl)-D-alaninate(metalaxyl-M, XVIIb).

[0140] The hydroxyethyl-triazole derivative of the formula (XXI) can bepresent in the “thiono” form of the formula

[0141] or in the tautomeric “mercapto” form of the formula

[0142] For simplicity's sake, only the “thiono” form is given in eachcase.

[0143] The guanidine derivative of the formula (XXV) is a substancemixture with the common name guazatine.

[0144] From the structural formula for the active compouds of theformula (XXXXIX), it can be seen that the compounds can be present as Eor Z isomers. Accordingly, the product can be present as a mixture ofdifferent isomers or else in the form of a single isomer. Preference isgiven to compounds of the formula (XXXXIX) in which the compounds of theformula (XXXXIX) are present as E isomer. Particular preference is givento the compounds of the formulae

[0145] and their isomers.

[0146] The following active compounds are particularly preferred mixingpartners of the compounds of the formula (I):

[0147] (3) tolylfluanid (IVb),

[0347] are present per part by weight of active compound of the formula(I).

[0348] The active compound combinations according to the invention havevery good fungicidal properties and can be employed for controllingphytopathogenic fungi, such as Plasmodiophoromycetes, Oomycetes,Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes,Deuteromycetes, etc.

[0349] The active compound combinations according to the invention areparticularly suitable for controlling Phytophthora infestans andPlasmopara viticola.

[0350] The fact that the active compound combinations are well toleratedby plants at the concentrations required for controlling plant diseasespermits the treatment of above-ground parts of plants, of propagationstock and seeds, and of the soil. The active compound combinationsaccording to the invention can be employed for foliar application orelse as seed dressings.

[0351] The active compound combinations according to the invention mayalso be employed to increase the yield of crops. However, they havereduced toxicity and are tolerated well by plants.

[0352] According to the invention, it is possible to treat all plantsand parts of plants. Plants are to be understood here as meaning allplants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plantsor crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plantscan be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding andoptimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineeringmethods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenicplants and including plant cultivars which can or cannot be protected byplant breeders certificates. Parts of plants are to be understood asmeaning all above-ground and below-ground parts and organs of plants,such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentionedbeing leaves, needles, stems, trunks, flowers, fruit-bodies, fruits andseeds and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. Parts of plants also includeharvested plants and vegetative and generative propagation material, forexample seedlings, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings and seeds.

[0353] The treatment of the plants and parts of plants according to theinvention with the active compounds is carried out directly or by actionon their environment, habitat or storage area according to customarytreatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, evaporating,atomizing, broadcasting, brushing-on and, in the case of propagationmaterial, in particular in the case of seeds, furthermore by one- ormulti-layer coating.

[0354] The active compound combinations according to the invention canbe converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions,emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols andmicroencapsulations in polymeric substances and in coating compositionsfor seeds, and ULV formulations.

[0355] These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example bymixing the active compounds or active compound combinations withextenders, that is liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure,and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that isemulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam formers. If the extenderused is water, it is also possible to use, for example, organic solventsas auxiliary solvents. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents include:aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinatedaromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes,chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such ascyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, alcohols suchas butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such asacetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone,strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide and dimethylsulphoxide, or else water. Liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers areto be understood as meaning liquids which are gaseous at ambienttemperature and under atmospheric pressure, for example aerosolpropellants such as butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.Suitable solid carriers are: for example ground natural minerals such askaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite ordiatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals such as finely dividedsilica, alumina and silicates. Suitable solid carriers for granules are:for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite,marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, or else synthetic granules ofinorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such assawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks. Suitableemulsifiers and/or foam formers are: for example nonionic and anionicemulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylenefatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers,alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates, or else proteinhydrolysates. Suitable dispersants are: for example lignin-sulphitewaste liquors and methylcellulose.

[0356] Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural andsynthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such asgum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, or else naturalphospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and syntheticphospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other additives can bemineral and vegetable oils.

[0357] It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, forexample iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organicdyestuffs such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metalphthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron,manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

[0358] The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95% by weightof active compounds, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

[0359] The active compound combinations according to the invention, assuch or in their formulations, can also be applied in a mixture withknown fungicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides or insecticides,to broaden the activity spectrum or to prevent the development ofresistance, for example. In many cases, synergistic effects areobtained, i.e. the activity of the mixture is greater than the activityof the individual components.

[0360] A mixture with other known active compounds such as herbicides orwith fertilizers and growth regulators is also possible.

[0361] The active compound combinations can be used as such, in the formof their formulations or as the use forms prepared therefrom, such asready-to-use solutions, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions,suspensions, wettable powders, soluble powders and granules. They areused in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying,atomizing, scattering, spreading, and as a powder for dry seedtreatment, a solution for seed treatment, a water-soluble powder forseed treatment, a water-soluble powder for slurry treatment, or byencrusting.

[0362] When using the active compound combinations according to theinvention, the application rates can be varied within a relatively widerange, depending on the kind of application. In the treatment of partsof plants, the application rates of the active compound combination aregenerally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferably between 10 and 1000g/ha. In the treatment of seeds, the application rates of the activecompound combination are generally between 0.001 and 50 g per kilogramof seed, preferably between 0.01 and 10 g per kilogram of seed. In thetreatment of the soil, the application rates of the active compoundcombination are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferablybetween 1 and 5000 g/ha.

[0363] The good fungicidal activity of the active compound combinationsaccording to the invention is evident from the examples below. While theindividual active compounds exhibit weaknesses with regard to thefungicidal activity, the combinations have an activity which exceeds thesum of individual activities.

[0364] A synergistic effect of fungicides is always present when thefungicidal activity of the active compound combinations exceeds thetotal of the activities of the active compounds when appliedindividually.

[0365] The expected activity for a given combination of two activecompounds can be calculated as follows (cf. Colby, S. R., “CalculatingSynergistic and Antagonistic Responses of Herbicide Combinations”, Weeds15, (1967), 20-22):

[0366] If

[0367] X is the efficacy when applying active compound A at anapplication rate of m g/ha,

[0368] Y is the efficacy when applying active compound B at anapplication rate of n g/ha and

[0369] E is the efficacy when applying the active compounds A and B atan application rate of m and n g/ha,

[0370] then $E = {X + Y - \frac{X{\cdot Y}}{100}}$

[0371] The efficacy is calculated in %. 0% is an efficacy whichcorresponds to that of the control, whereas an efficacy of 100% meansthat no infection is observed.

[0372] If the actual fungicidal activity exceeds the calculated value,then the activity of the combination is superadditive, i.e. asynergistic effect exists. In this case, the efficacy which was actuallyobserved must be greater than the value for the expected efficacy (E)calculated from the abovementioned formula.

[0373] The examples that follow illustrate the invention. However, theinvention is not limited to the examples.

EXAMPLE 1

[0374] Phytophthora Test (Tomato)/Protective Solvent: 47 parts by weightof acetone Emulsifier:  3 parts by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

[0375] To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, I part byweight of active compound or active compound combination is mixed withthe stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier, and the concentrate isdiluted with water to the desired concentration, or a commercialformulation of active compound or active compound combination is dilutedwith water to the desired concentration.

[0376] To test for protective activity, young plants are sprayed withthe active compound preparation at the stated application rate. Afterthe spray coating has dried on, the plants are inoculated with anaqueous spore suspension of Phytophthora infestans. The plants are thenplaced in an incubation cabin at about 20° C. and 100% relativeatmospheric humidity.

[0377] Evaluation is carried out 3 days after the inoculation. 0% meansan efficacy which corresponds to that of the control, whereas anefficacy of 100% means that no infection is observed.

[0378] The activity found for the active compound combination accordingto the invention is greater than the calculated activity, i.e. there isa synergistic effect. At a mixing ratio of 1:1 and an application rateof 0.1 g/ha, the combination of the compound of the formula (I) and thehalogeno-benzimidazole of the formula No. XXVII has an actual efficacyof 73%. At 63%, the expected value, calculated using Colby's formula, isconsiderably lower.
